What is intelligence-led policing? Who came up with the idea? Where did it come from? How does it relate to other policing paradigms?

California is the most multicultural state in the nation. As John Mack Faragher argues in this concise and lively history, that is nothing new.

Beautifully crafted and elegantly written, Faragher tells the stories of a colorful cast of characters, some famous, others mostly unknown.
